Custom portable homes are making waves in Wisconsin—and for good reason. With rising property costs, increasing mobility needs, and a growing desire for flexible living spaces, more people are seeking smart alternatives to traditional housing. That’s where Schrock Buildings comes in.
As a locally-owned, Wisconsin-grown company, we understand what our neighbors need when it comes to reliable, customizable, and beautiful portable living spaces. Whether you’re looking for a home office, guest house, weekend cabin, or full-time tiny home, our custom portable homes offer unbeatable quality with Midwest values at the core.
Let’s explore why more Wisconsinites are turning to Schrock Buildings when they’re ready to make a smart investment in portable living.
What Are Custom Portable Homes?
Custom portable homes—sometimes called tiny homes, prefab homes, or mobile sheds—are fully customizable structures built off-site and delivered ready to use or finish. They can serve countless purposes:
Full-time minimalist living
Guest accommodations
Hunting or fishing cabins
Office or creative studio space
In-law suites
Backyard rentals or Airbnb properties
At Schrock Buildings, we design each portable home to fit your exact needs. From size to siding, roofing to interior layout—we build it your way. Whether it’s a cozy 12×24 or a larger multi-room unit, your portable building is crafted with precision and care, right here in Wisconsin.
Why Wisconsinites Trust Schrock Buildings
1. Local, Family-Owned Roots
We’re not a big-box brand. Schrock Buildings is a family-owned company born and raised in Wisconsin. We were raised on hard work and strong values, and we bring that to every project we take on. From initial consultation to delivery and beyond, we offer a personal experience that national retailers simply can’t match.
2. Fully Customizable Designs
One size doesn’t fit all. That’s why we offer a fully customizable building experience through our online 3D Shed Builder Tool. You can design your dream portable home right from your device:
Choose your size
Pick your exterior siding and paint color
Select a metal or shingle roof (we offer both—more on that below!)
Add doors, windows, porches, lofts, and more
Our goal is to help you create a space that is uniquely yours.
3. Uncompromising Quality
We use premium materials and craftsmanship to ensure every portable home stands the test of time. Every frame is built with pressure-treated lumber, and all structures meet or exceed local building standards.
You won’t find particle board or shortcuts here—just honest, hard work and long-lasting results.
4. Quick Turnaround & Delivery
Unlike conventional home construction, which can take months or years, your Schrock Building is built and delivered in a fraction of the time. Once your design is finalized, our experienced team gets to work constructing your unit in our workshop, then delivering it directly to your property.
We handle the heavy lifting—literally.
Custom Options that Set Us Apart
Every portable home from Schrock Buildings can be tailored to your lifestyle. Here’s a closer look at the features that make our buildings feel like home.
Interior Layout
Customize your floor plan for any use: studio-style living, partitioned rooms, lofted sleeping areas, or a workspace/home blend. Our team will work with you to bring your interior vision to life.
Doors and Windows
Natural light is essential, whether you’re living in your portable home full-time or just on weekends. Add as many windows as you’d like, along with single or double doors, sliding barn doors, or even French doors for that elevated aesthetic.
Roofing: Metal vs. Shingle
We’re proud to offer both metal and shingle roofing options. Both provide excellent protection for Wisconsin’s unpredictable weather, and each comes with its own unique benefits:
Metal Roof: Durable, fire-resistant, long-lasting (often 40+ years), and great for shedding snow. It also adds a clean, modern look.
Shingle Roof: Classic, versatile, and typically more affordable. Our premium shingles are made to withstand wind and weather without compromising style.
Whether you prefer the sleek lines of metal or the traditional charm of shingles, we’ve got you covered—literally.
Exterior Siding and Paint
Choose from vinyl, LP SmartSide, board and batten, and more. All available in a variety of custom colors to complement your property or personal style.
